The Trung Canidate Situation...

Trung has the biggest cap hit of any of our running backs, other than Portis of course.

Canidate is still playing on the contract he signed with the Rams, and the prorated remainder of the signing bonus from that contract was counted against the Rams' 2003 cap when they traded him to the Redskins. So if the Skins were to cut Canidate, there would be no cap hit-- and his salary ($915k for 2004) would come off the books as far as the cap goes. That's why Canidate is a primary candidate to be cut once he is deemed healthy enough for the Redskins to do so. Right now, he's apparently still recovering from a foot injury he suffered last season, and the CBA forbids teams from cutting a player when he is recovering from a football-related injury. Once he is cleared medically, he's a goner.

As for the Trung situation, I think JoeCrisp is right on (as usual).

I believe we reworked his contract right after we traded for him, I still don't think it will be much of a cap hit.

Actually, though it was discussed, there was no reworking. He remains on his rookie deal. I think he'd hoped to wow the team with his stats and sign a more lucrative deal - injuries have derailed that.
